Hypercube 300 Lite Carriage for Precision Piezo Orion and E3D V6

thingiverse

I'm getting a Precision Piezo Orion sensor that will work seamlessly with my Hypercube 300 build. The Piezo Lite Carriage was originally designed for the older Piezo20 sensor, but I've remixed it to be fully compatible with the new Orion sensor. To assemble the carriage, you'll need to print all of the STLs except for a few files that are either modified or integrated into my design. These exceptions include: * The Hypercube_300_Piezo_Carriage.repaired.stl file, which is designed specifically for the Piezo20 sensor. * The Orion_Screw_Top.stl file, which is also part of my design. * You'll need to choose between two versions of the Orion_Groove_Clamp_3.stl file: one with no support and one with integral support. * Similarly, you can select either the Hypercube_300_Orion_Piezo_Carriage.stl or the Hypercube_300_Orion_Piezo_Carriage_Igus.stl file, depending on whether you want to use integrated bushings or Igus bushings. In my renders, I've colored the carriage red and the other necessary parts green. If you're interested in using a belt tensioner with this carriage, check out this design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2092237 I've made a few updates to the design since its initial release: * On January 24th, I shrunk the hole at the top of the carriage to accommodate an M5-threaded pneumatic fitting and added an Igus bushing variant to save time on sanding new bushings. * On February 5th, I created a recess under the pneumatic fitting mount to hold one end of a 40-mm piece of Teflon tubing that extends into the hotend. This eliminates the need for a collet and retainer clip when assembling the hotend. * Finally, on February 10th, I fine-tuned the dimensions of the Igus-bushing variant specifically for printing with PETG filament on my Anet A8 printer. If you're looking to optimize this design for your own printer and filament, feel free to use the included igus-sleeve-sizing-test.scad file to iterate through different sizes and find what works best for you.
